At a young age of up to 25, men do not even think about a possible decline in sexual activity. They are confident and full of energy. But, already at the age of 30, there may be periodic difficulties with potency, its decrease. Erectile function is declining. But this does not mean that the potency disappears completely. A certain stability, periodicity is simply established.
And the claim that at the age of 40 a man is very close to impotence is completely wrong. Everything is very individual. In addition, urologists say that a young man's body has a certain reserve of his sexual activity. And you can't cheat nature.
A man's sexual health is affected by many different factors, from psychological to physical factors at the same time. Various diseases of the heart, stomach, liver, in combination with depression, stress and stress affect the reduction of potency.
Factors affecting potency
The first reason is endocrine
The most common diseases of the endocrine system are manifested in hormonal imbalance, the production of sex hormones in the testicles or pituitary gland, as well as in various injuries, tumors that lead to a clear decrease in testosterone in the male body, which is the main hormone responsible for erectile function and arousal. An endocrinologist deals with the study of such health problems. Hormonal preparations often help normalize the hormonal background, hormone replacement therapy is prescribed, and potency returns to normal.
Another reason is medication.
There is a huge number of drugs that negatively affect potency and cause a violation of the sexual sphere. These drugs include hormonal agents - female hormones, which are often used in the treatment of cancer. But in this case, the question is about the fight for life. Drugs, alcohol, various antidepressants have a negative effect on a man's sexual function.
Some tablets used daily have a negative effect on the genital area (diuretics, antacids, diphenhydramine). Therefore, before using these drugs, carefully read the instructions for use and consult a specialist. He will point out all the advantages and disadvantages of the drug and will be able to prescribe an analogue that will not negatively affect sexual function.
The third reason is neurology
Many diseases of the brain and spinal cord, as well as various neurological disorders, affect the reduction of potency. Neurological disorders and diseases include:
- Parkinson's disease;
- circulatory disorders in the brain;
- epilepsy;
- sclerosis;
- various injuries and operations in the perineum and pelvis;
- systemic and autoimmune diseases.
Treatment methods for neurological diseases in modern medicine are quite limited and the only way to eliminate the problem is sometimes penile prosthetics.
The fourth reason is psychological
Psychological problems, especially at a young age, can cause problems related to the sexual sphere. Erectile dysfunction occurs due to fatigue, stress, deep depression, poor health, neurosis, complete dissatisfaction with the sexual partner and oneself.
The fear of pregnancy or the fear of contracting a sexually transmitted infection also affects the reduction of potency. An erection does not occur when wearing a condom or in uncomfortable situations and environments.
Selective type is another type of erectile dysfunction. It is the inability to have a sexual life with a certain partner, and to have a successful sexual life with others. Erectile dysfunction is related to the psychology of men. Potency may decrease during the first sexual intercourse due to excitement. In other cases, everything goes without problems.
Other reasons
In this problem, there are also local causes (local injuries, injections) that replace the functional tissues of the penis with connective ones. Impaired blood circulation in the penis, which leads to erectile dysfunction. Vascular sclerosis can also involve prolonged intercourse, where a man deliberately delays ejaculation to prolong the pleasure of his partner.
If a tissue replacement process occurs, the results can be disappointing.
Vascular problems that affect potency reduction are divided into two types:
- venous outflow of blood;
- arterial blood flow disorder.
With arterial blood flow violation, erection practically does not occur and is not as complete as possible. With venous outflow, excitement quickly occurs, an erection occurs, but quickly disappears, sometimes not even allowing sexual intercourse to begin or end.
Such disorders are caused by diseases:
- injuries to the perineum and pelvis;
- phlebeurism;
- inflammation of the lining of blood vessels - endarteritis;
- narrowing of the lumen of the aorta and deposition of cholesterol - atherosclerosis of the aorta.
It should be noted that due to smoking or taking medication and a number of other reasons, blood circulation in the penis is disturbed. The treatment of this disease consists in the use of drugs that affect vascular tone.
Chronic diseases of the pelvic organs can be caused by a decrease in immunity and the tone of the penis. Sexual diseases lead to depression, neurological diseases and erectile dysfunction. To fully restore potency, you should undergo a complex treatment.
There is also the treatment of anatomical changes on the genital organs (improper location of the opening of the urethra, changes on the penis) with surgical intervention, but such cases are extremely rare.
Ways of fighting
The main rule is awareness of the problem and the desire to solve it. Most men, faced with a similar problem, are afraid to go to the doctor, because they consider it an extremely intimate problem. Today, a huge number of anonymous treatment rooms, websites and consultations have appeared, where they will help to understand the problem and give some advice.
Know that there is nothing fatal and irreparable about this problem. A decrease in potency often has functional causes, and the right lifestyle, avoiding stress and the right emotions help a man to regain male strength.
Products enriched with minerals and trace elements have a beneficial effect on increasing potency. These include aphrodisiacs, which increase blood flow to the genitals. New sensations in sexual life and harmony are important for men. Experts recommend diversifying your sex life or changing a partner who does not satisfy you in some way. If you try to change something in your life, the results can be positive.
To eliminate the main causes of men's health problems, you should lead a proper lifestyle, exercise regularly and contact a specialist in case of problems. Refusal of bad habits, regular sex life, refusal of medication will lead to positive consequences. Visit a urologist regularly if there are injuries, diabetes or hypertension.
Products that have a negative impact on health
Products that reduce potency:
Your first enemy is alcohol
Alcohol is the first and most serious enemy of male sexual power. Alcohol or low-alcohol drinks are harmful even in the smallest quantities. Doctors say that alcohol has the most harmful effect on the testicles and leads to their dysfunction. Drinking alcohol and poisoning the body and reproductive functions with ethyl alcohol leads to the complete disappearance of a full-fledged sexual life.
Your second enemy is cholesterol
If we talk about products of animal origin, then it is worth remembering that the enemy for the male reproductive system, especially in middle age, is the cholesterol contained in such products. It not only affects the cardiovascular system, but also disrupts blood circulation in the genitourinary system. You should constantly control the cholesterol content in your blood, do not eat fatty foods, fatty types of meat. But it is not necessary to exclude meat from the diet, it contains trace elements that increase the necessary level of testosterone in the body. Meat should simply not be abused.
Your third enemy is salt
Salt is already an essential element of nutrition. It is impossible to completely eliminate salt from consumption, because it is an integral part of many products. Salt food immediately after cooking and before eating. Salt is not worth it.
Your fourth enemy is caffeine
Caffeine is one of the most undesirable foods to consume, because it binds free testosterone and reduces its concentration. One cup of coffee in the morning will not harm your health, but you should limit the consumption of the drink during the day.
The influence of plants on potency
Traditional medicine has become popular among the treatments for many diseases. Therefore, men often turn to similar methods of potency treatment. It is very difficult to find a plant that would negatively affect potency, but it has been proven that the same plant can affect the health of men and women in different ways. Herbs such as saffron and cornflower will have a calming effect, but at the same time reduce potency and sexual desire.
Useful plants for men's health will be:
- decoction of calamus root;
- galangal tincture;
- Dubrovnik.
When using plants, it is worth remembering the wide range of their effects on the body. These plants have no side effects and have a positive effect on the body and potency.
